for instance if i have to start from scratch i would make an "export" script and an import script

export would collect all the core data (database dumps and configuration files) from ZPanel and zip it for manual transfer to the other machine. it would not include the email stored in the vmail directory because this is large and should probably be transferred using rsync.

import would probably take the type of OS and version of Zpanel as a parameter in case there are differences. Assuming a clean version of Sentora has already been installed it could unzip the export file and change the relevant values during import.

It could rename the original Sentora folders and databases of the fresh install before replacing thus giving an ability to "undo" the migration.

exports and imports whre done trough phpmyadmin form the old zpanel server to a fresh installed sentora server by hand. Before import the nessecary changes where made as described in the thread. Vhosts and mails whre transferred also manualy.

its crued but it worked for me.

My being on this forum is all personal and all is done here by me has nothing to with the company Web Improved I work for

yes i understand what you mean. that the replacement should be more specific.

for example, with contents of /etc/zpanel/configs probably only needs contents of /etc/zpanel/configs/apache and /etc/zpanel/configs/bind copying. the reason is that things like roundcube and proftpd etc are managed by sentora anyway
